Peter Lauder, 45, will represent Team UK at the international adaptive multi-sport event in Canada in February.

Mr Lauder, who served in Kosovo, Iraq, and Afghanistan, was diagnosed with a fractured necro of the femur, a severe hip injury, and underwent a hip replacement in 2020.

The surgery resulted in nerve damage, loss of feeling, and one leg being shorter than the other.

He will compete in indoor rowing, wheelchair rugby, and sitting volleyball.
